“With Melbourne as a key focus for us, we conducted an extensive global search for an executive that could fulfil our vision and deliver a significant increase in value to our clients.

“We are so proud to promote Dan from within our ranks. A proven leader with globally significant impact and all round great guy, Dan has achieved outstanding and demonstrable results with some of the world’s leading marketers including P&G and MARS. He will be missed by our Sydney team, but I have no doubt he will make this new chapter in his MediaCom career an extraordinary success.”

“Dan is a master of craft and is fantastic to work with – he couldn’t be more deserving of this promotion.”

Connor’s promotion is a true indication of MediaCom’s focus on growing and developing its leadership capability from within, the agency’s investment in its Melbourne presence, and its ability to offer talent opportunities nationally and internationally that grow and develop their team into future leaders.
